Rules of thumb for metapopulation management
Many species live in ecosystems where resources are distributed patchily within the landscape. Furthermore, an ever-increasing number of species are forced to live in fragmented landscapes due to the destruction of their habitat, generally caused by anthropogenic disturbance. These metapopulations are consequently drawing much attention in both the theoretical and applied ecology literature (Le...
متن کاملRules of Thumb in Data Engineering
This paper reexamines the rules of thumb for the design of data storage systems. Briefly, it looks at storage, processing, and networking costs, ratios, and trends with a particular focus on performance and price/performance. Amdahl’s ratio laws for system design need only slight revision after 35 years—the major change being the increased use of RAM. An analysis also indicates storage should b...
متن کاملRules of thumb for judging ecological theories.
An impressive fit to historical data suggests to biologists that a given ecological model is highly valid. Models often achieve this fit at the expense of exaggerated complexity that is not justified by empirical evidence. Because overfitted theories complement the traditional assumption that ecology is 'messy', they generally remain unquestioned. Using predation theory as an example, we sugges...
متن کاملRules of Thumb for Writing Research Articles
The paper provides 'rules of thumb' for writing research articles (RA) and getting them published. These were discussed during the "Scientific writing course" organized for ITC PhD students by Cressie Communication Services. Important aspects of macro and sub-structure of a paper were selected through group discussions. The substructure and functions of different sections of RAs are described. ...
متن کاملRules of Thumb in Real Options Analysis
In this normative paper, we derive payback period (PBP) and internal rate of return (IRR) in the presence of real options. In a Kulatilaka Trigeorgis General Real Option Pricing Model, we derive the expected value of these two decision rules that corresponds to the expected NPV Bellman dynamic programming maximizing strategy in the presence of the options to wait, to mothball and to abandon. A ...
